Synopsis

Much of leveraged finance credit analysis focuses on cash flows. But what happens when the credit you have to look at has no cash flow? What if it is a very early stage credit or a pure start-up project? Then you need to be able to combine the tools of project finance credit analysis with the tools of leveraged finance analysis. The leveraged finance market sees its share of project finance fundings and as an analyst you need to know how to approach these debt instruments. This booklet will guide you through the practical aspects of analyzing the feasibility of a project, building models for the project and analyzing what factors are most likely to influence how the bonds and loans on the project will trade.
